This summer, Rodri had the king’s choice. He could have stayed and extended his contract at Manchester City. He could also have signed for Real Madrid, with whom he discussed seriously. Finally, the Iberian midfielder chose to sign for Barça. According to journalist Gerard Romero, a former Casa Blanca player played a role in his choice.
Indeed, the pro-Barça media indicates that Dani Carvajal, who freely left the Merengues this summer, would have advised him not to sign for Real Madrid. Quite a stab if this turns out to be true.
